Short History
Regal Cinemas was founded in Knoxville, Tennessee, by Mike Campbell in the year of 1989. Actually, the first Regal Cinema movie theater was the Searstown Cinema in Titusville, Florida. This cinema became popular very fast thanks to the premium cafes, the upscale look, and the large size of its theaters. This great popularity along with an aggressive marketing campaign made Regal Cinemas greatly expand during the 1990s. It maintained its popularity along time by offering access to IMAX, 4DX, ScreenX, Regal Premium Experience (RPX), and movies in 3D along with premium concession items.

Our review
The costs of the Regal Cinemas tickets depend on the time of day you want to attend a movie. For the matinee movies, the cost of a ticket for an adult starts at around $8, while for a child you will have to pay around $7. During the evening or regular hours, an adult will have to pay around $12 (≈48 minutes of continuous work at a $15/hour job) for a ticket, while children between the ages of 2 and 12 years will have to pay $10 (≈40 minutes working at a $15/hour wage). Expect to pay another $4 to $7 per ticket for the movies seen in IMAX or 3D. However, if you are a senior citizen, a student, or a member of the military with a valid ID, you may get a discount.
Also, Regal Cinemas reduces ticket costs from time to time, especially during the summer as part of different promotions. For example, once a week they offer low-cost tickets to the movies for children. Moreover, they have a loyalty program named Regal Rewards. As a member, you will receive a card and earn credits with every ticket you buy. You can redeem these credits for free movie tickets, free concession items and concession upsizes.
Regal Cinema hosts also midnight showings and in-advance screenings of the new movies during the year.
The rates charged by Regal Cinemas for their concession items are quite similar to those charged by the majority of the large movie theater chains, and these have remained competitive over time. At every Regal Cinemas location, you can find standard movie theater products such as popcorn and soft drinks at comparable prices. Obviously, at the larger locations, you can also find other snacks like hot dog sliders, cinnamon bites, and nachos. Expect to pay anywhere between $6 and $8 each for these snacks, or just around $4 for candy. A small portion of popcorn at Regal Cinemas costs around $7. Plan on spending around $5.75 for a frozen treat like frozen yogurt and ice cream.
Nowadays premium food items are offered at many locations, such as cheeseburgers with French fries which cost around $9. The Regal Cinemas' prices for the food items may vary from one location to another.
I recently went to an evening movie with my family. We are all seniors. I used a ticket I purchased many years ago through AAA which was probably around $7. I had no problem.My mom purchased 5 senior tickets with a regal gift card which came to $52.75. My question is, why doesn’t Regal offer a significant discount for users of Regal gift cards or receive any perks. These cards are bought way in advance as well. I guess I’m trying to figure out why anyone would buy your gift cards if there is no perks.
